Just been out cleaning the bike and noticed my transponder in the tool box. I have none of the paperwork that came with it so I am unsure what to do. It has sat in the tool box since the last round at Cadwell. Should I keep it charged or flat? in order for it to work when we start again this season?
Mine is a rechargeable one that doesn't run off of the battery - if that makes sense. Its been run flat since Cadwell too.
Just charge it up a couple of days before the first round - it takes 12 hours or so for a full charge from flat.
Once its charged up and taken out it will work, putting it back in the charger-holder (without power) means that it's in sleep mode and so won't drain any battery power (or very little).
Mine actually says to fully discharge every three months. Presumably this is to avoid "battery memory" - where the battery actually reduces its effective power range by only using part of its capabilities.
I reckon you'll be fine, you have in effect discharged the battery fully and are now recharging it. Albeit with a wait in between!!!!
